Scene 2
Polonius, reading Hamlet's love letter to Ophelia.
"But never doubt I love. O dear Ophelia...I love thee best, O most best, believe it.
I think this is important because Polonius is reading this to the King and Queen, so it's making a rather shady and secretive matter very public. Polonius is trying to convince the King that Hamlet is just simply insane. I think it was very bold and somewhat disrespectful (to Hamlet) of Polonius to publicly read this. But, basically, it is a big deal and a big part of the story.

Act 1 Quote
Scene 1
Horatio:
"Before my God, I might not this believe without the sensible and true avouch of mine own eyes.
Horatio says this to Bernardo after they see the king's ghost. I like this because it shows the truth of human nature. I get so frustrated when people don't believe something that I am so sure about, but then again, I may not believe a lot of things if i don't witness them myself. I also like Horatio's honesty in admitting that he probably wouldn't believe someone else if they told him that they had seen the king's ghost.
